The role

You'll build the multi-tenant platform that turns our inference infrastructure into a product enterprises and sovereign customers can trust.

You'll own the systems between customers and our inference stack: authentication, tenant isolation, quotas, metering, entitlements, and the public API. Security and auditability are core product requirements, not layers added later.

Responsibilities
  • Build the multi-tenant control plane, including credentials, quotas, rate limits, and tenant isolation.

  • Own our public inference APIs, including streaming, versioning, compatibility, and migrations.

  • Implement accurate usage metering, credit reservation, and entitlement enforcement.

  • Build enterprise capabilities such as SSO, access controls, audit logs, and data residency.

  • Test and continuously strengthen the tenant boundary.

Qualifications
  • 5+ years in backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering, including ownership of a multi-tenant API or control plane.

  • Deep knowledge of authentication, credential management, rate limiting, quotas, and tenant isolation.

  • Strong Python skills and sound API design judgment, ideally with high-throughput or streaming APIs.

  • Experience with metering, billing, credits, or entitlements, including idempotency, reconciliation, and audit trails.

  • Experience with enterprise or regulated environments, such as SSO, SAML/OIDC, SOC 2, data residency, or sovereign deployments.

Above all, we're looking for great teammates who make work feel lighter and aren't afraid to go out on a limb with bold ideas. You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to be adaptable. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box.

Benefits
  • Flexible work: In-person collaboration in the Bay Area, a distributed global-first team, and team offsites.

  • Adaption Passport: Annual travel stipend to explore a country you've never visited. We're building intelligence that evolves alongside you, so we encourage you to keep expanding your horizons.
